Hi! I’m Kelly and welcome to our 2nd Chance Restoration page! We are a family owned business started by accident after I lost my corporate job due to layoffs. I needed to provide an income somehow, and even though I had been painting small furniture pieces since I was young, it never occurred to me to take a hobby and passion and turn it into something bigger. We started small with a desk here and there, and then bureaus, etc. Then we noticed a need for cabinets to be transformed (bathrooms AND kitchens), and banister updates, and whitewashing of fireplaces etc… We pride ourselves on seeing a need and being the ‘go to’ place for so many who are looking to do some refreshes to their homes.

Here we are more than 10 years later with hundreds of clients, a 98% referral rate, countless pieces that have been restyled and thousands of cabinet doors that have been transformed. We love working with our clients who are striving to keep their family heirlooms as showcase pieces and are excited to see what each year has in store for us. I hope you’ll join us on the journey and enjoy looking through our website for inspiration…

When you have the Monday-est Monday in awhile 😩.

These cabinets had 3 layers of paint on them. After sanding for 4 hours as part of my prep today, I accidentally nicked the edge of one of the frames and a sheet of paint fell off 🥹.

Silly me picked at it and all of a sudden, the entire kitchen turned into Pandora’s box as I needed to get to the bottom this mystery! 2 hours of hand picking and scraping later, this kitchen has been ‘peeled’ back to its original wood. This means that 3 coats ago, the original painter did not use primer and just through some paint on them. 🤦‍♀️

While I wasn’t thrilled about the extra hours, I’m happy for my clients that I won’t be the 4th coat of paint on these cabinets and they get to start from ‘new’.

I couldn’t possibly recommend 2nd Chance Restoration enough. Kelly is absolutely amazing and so unbelievably talented. From the first time I met her I knew I was in good hands. Kelly is super patient and really great to work with on design ideas and final decisions. Her recommendations were always spot on! Her process is incredible and in just a short week she transformed our kitchen into a brand new space. We are so in love with it! We were also fortunate enough to have her work wonders on a piece of furniture for the kitchen as well and it turned out better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend 2nd Chance Restoration and can’t wait until I can dream up another project to work on together.

Kelly has done numerous pieces of furniture for us and I was absolutely thrilled with the results. Her prices are reasonable and her work is precise. She completely transformed my dining room table and two living room chairs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to give their furniture a new look!
